Bailey Family Pictures
I
figured other Bailey family researchers or family members would
appreciate having these pictures.
It would be a shame if they were lost. I have included all of the
information I have about them underneath.
I would appreciate any you have of this lineage in return.

Eason Bailey with his wife.
Eason, God bless him, outlived his first 2 wives and was married
3 times.
His first wife was Susan Daughtrey (m. 1864).
This is either Sarah E. Daughtrey (m. 1879) or Safronia Whitley
(m 1885)
He had 13 children.

Most of the
men in our family built houses or worked with wood in one manner
or another.
Grandpa took great pride in building quality houses that would
last.
It's a shame someone didn't document the things he has done with
wood so his ancestors could share in the pride of his
craftsmanship.
When we were standing in the mausoleum during my Uncle Sam's
service, my Grandpa remarked how shabbily the building was built.
On the way back to his home, he pointed out
"matchstick" houses that "wouldn't stand up to a
storm."
